FK Fakel Voronezh
- FK Fakel Voronezh remain in control of the FNL 2025-2026 table with 61 points from 31 games.

- Andrey Okladnikov is their in-form striker with 11 league goals, six of which have come in his last five appearances.
- The visitors have had some mixed results on the road this season with five wins, five draws and five defeats in 15 FNL away games.
